similar to: Dsync and compressed mailboxes

Just made the leap from 1.2 to 2.0.6 - and several maddening config typos I think I have a working system again! Getting closer to converting from maildir to mdbox, but first... Trying to use dsync gives me: dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) Ok - I 've never configured namespaces

Hi, I've almost finished my new director based setup, but in the first test I discovered that imap and lmtp connections were not always being proxied to the same server. After some research now I think that the main problem is that in imap connections users connect as 'username' while lmtp connections are as 'username at mailserver'. In my current setup I receive mail via

I need to backup some of the mailboxes on our system. We are currently using mdbox with zlib compression plugin. The backups need to be maildir without compression. How can I accomplish this using dsync? The following just causes each msg file in maildir to be compressed as well. dsync -f -u user1 backup maildir:/var/tmp/user1 While this just causes the dsync to fail while spewing a bunch of

Hi, Is it posible to use variables in mail_location when taken from ldap? How? I've tried mdbox:/buzones2/'%n'/mdbox mdbox:/buzones2/"%n"/mdbox mdbox:/buzones2/%n/mdbox but %n is never replaced by its value. Thanks! -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, ?rea de Explotaci?n

I'm doing in-site migration of accounts from /etc/passwd to an LDAP directory. The migration should be progressive (not all users at the same time). I'm already able to check mail for accounts in /etc/passwd and accounts in LDAP. The problem is with mail delivery. I'm using Postfix + Dovecot-LDA. This is the error I get with every delivery -- dovecot: Oct 03 00:16:09 Info:

I'm getting an error backing up mailboxes.

Hello, we are using doveadm sync to export mdbox to maildir format, so we can use an external tool to convert into an pst file. Since we have enabled zlib compression doveadm sync always exports the maildir gzip compressed. Are there any ways to prevent the doveadm sync to export the maildir compressed ? Have tried this: doveadm -o "maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=no" sync -u imap at

Hi, I am looking for a way to sync only selected files/mailbox'es using dsync. Am I using the dsync -m option incorectly? It looks like it's being ignored. And as for the main INBOX (/var/mail/username) what should be the parameter for -m? dovecot --version 2.1.7 dsync -u pj -D -v -m Alerts -o mail_location=mdbox:/home/pj/mdbox backup mbox:/home/pj/:INBOX=/var/mail/pj doveadm(root):

Hello list, I'm using Dovecot 1.0.0 on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE and applied the latest MANAGESIEVE patch v3 [1] which seems to have worked smoothly, i.e. all hunks succeeded and no compilation problems. Now this may be stupid question with an obvious answer, but I am at a loss at how to start the daemon? What's the binary called that starts the sieve server? Is there a special way to

mail_location setting has started becoming a bit bloaty. I'm not actually even sure why I've kept adding more parameters to it rather than just adding new settings. It's also caused confusion, because people try things like: mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%u mail_location = mbox:INBOX=/var/mail/%u Although the first one has been giving ok enough error message for a long time now and

Hi Thomas, thank you for your help. This is very strange that it wont work here. can you doveconf -n the relevant parts especially mail_plugins= and plugin { } i think i have misconfigured something :( Regards, Daniel

I have been working on converting people from courier maildir -> dovecot mdbox and during some of the dsync runs I'm seeing the quota_exceeded_message be printed as an Error: dsync(<user>): Error: Can't save message to mailbox INBOX: You are over quota. To avoid losing mail, immediately empty your Trash and Sent folders and \ delete emails with large attachments.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Recently I encountered odd quota increases when using 'dsync' with the latest and greatest: 2.0.8 (89936539e3b8). Say you got something in place like this: plugin { quota = dict:user::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=1GB quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% } Kick off a manual backup: $ dsync -u user at domain.tld

Hi all, I've installed rc23 in a new testing machine, and i've had some permission problems related to dovecot-master.conf. As I have my master passwords in that file, I don't want it to be world readable. dovecot -n shows that auth_user is nobody, so setting the permissions to nobody.whatever 640 solves the problem. Anyway, I've tried to change the auth_user setting with no

Hi, I use dsync to backup mailboxes from mbox format to mdbox on a remote system. The first run for a user with dsync is OK, but during the second there are lots of the following errors: dsync-remote(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox directory Example: Mailbox has children, delete them first I see no way how I could influence the order dsync deletes mailboxes. This happens with

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST

Hi all, I'm receiving a reproducible dsync backup panic for some of my users.

Hi All, I currently have a small Dovecot server (Server A) and I've installed a second dovecot mailbox server (server B) and am trying to sync mailboxes from Server A to Server B. Both servers sit behind two dovecot directors on separate hosts and have identical config files (doveconf -n output below). Mailboxes on Server A are on an NFS mount. Server A has been working fine with no
